Unusual Undines and More

Unusual Undines and More

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off with Kyle sharing stories from his recent trip to Alabama and Cam recounting his 4th of July celebrations. They then dive into a series of bizarre sightings, including a person with a recurring encounter with The Hat Man, a mysterious gnome-like creature crossing the road, an Aswang sighting, a possible Bigfoot encounter in East Texas, and more!

After the break, Cam delves into some extraordinary tales of mermaids, giants, and more. Among the myriad of tall tales that have captivated humanity for millennia, mermaid mythology stands out for its unique and varied depictions across cultures. These mythical sea creatures are seen by some as magical and benevolent, while others consider them omens of disaster. Though often dismissed as fictional, historical accounts of mermaid sightings persist, prompting the age-old question: Are mermaids real? The earliest known mermaid folklore originates from Assyria, an ancient civilization in what is now northern Iraq. Dating back to around 1000 BC, the tale tells of the goddess Atargatis, who fell in love with a human shepherd and accidentally killed him. Overcome with shame, she leapt into a lake, intending to transform into a fish forever. However, her beauty could not be hidden, and she emerged with the tail of a fish and the upper body of a human, becoming the first mermaid.

In Asian cultures, mermaids are regarded as wondrous beings. Chinese folklore describes them as shedding tears that turn into pearls and weaving a material as white as frost that never gets wet. These attributes made mermaids highly prized by fishermen, who were nonetheless viewed with disdain for seeking to capture such epitomes of grace and beauty. In more recent centuries, reports of mermaid sightings have surfaced worldwide. During the Age of Exploration in the 15th and 16th centuries, sailors often claimed to encounter mermaids on their long voyages. These sightings were typically attributed to manatees or dugongs, marine mammals that bear some resemblance to the mythical creatures.

Despite the lack of conclusive evidence, modern mermaid sightings continue. In one notable instance, a town in Israel offered a million-dollar reward to anyone who could prove the existence of mermaids after numerous people reported seeing one leaping like a dolphin off the coast. Many folklorists believe that most mermaid sightings are actually misidentified seals. While the existence of mermaids remains unproven, it’s worth noting that many sea creatures known and studied today were once the stuff of legend. So who knows? On your next trip to the sea, you might just be the first to capture a live mermaid on video.

Demon Street USA/David Roundtree & Robbie Lunt

Demon Street USA/David Roundtree & Robbie Lunt

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives the guys talk about Does Bigfoot Really Braid Horse's Hair, Why Eel Drones Are the Future of Naval Warfare, Exorcists Warn Against buying Ouija Boards as Gifts. Then during the interview portion of the show the guys talk with David Roundtree and Robbie Lunt about they're new book "Demon Street, USA".   David Roundtree began his research into the paranormal professionally in 1976, and has investigated cases scientifically from Rhode Island to Key West, Florida. David has experimented with both scientific as well as metaphysical techniques in his study of unexplained occurrences. Over the course of his research he was able to confirm EVP was not related to sound by the use of a Bell Jar, a vacuum pump, a Shure dynamic microphone and a TEAC A-4010S Reel to Reel recorder. Due to several encounters of a very negative nature from 1985-87, he made the decision to concentrate on the scientific research concerning the phenomena, and not the metaphysical aspects of the events. In 1992 David formed a new organization, Scientific Paranormal Investigative Research Information and Technology (S.P.I.R.I.T.), and began a long and painstaking process of collecting, building and focusing a battery of hi-tech instrumentation to concentrate on laboratory and field experimentation to search for the cause of paranormal phenomena. By 1998 his focus of research had narrowed to phenomena specific to “Hauntings”. His primary focus since 1998 has been EVP research, employing his background of audio engineering and psychoacoustics. In 2005 David successfully linked electromagnetic fields as the primary source of EVPs. In 2010 he discovered that paranormal related EMF was an emergent phenomenon. He continues to look for answers in science for paranormal phenomena.   Robbie Lunt was born in an army hospital in Augsburg, West Germany in the middle of the Cold War. His father was an intelligence officer, the true warriors in the day-to-day battles of the conflict. Moving between Germany and the metro DC area fairly regularly in his childhood gave him a very broad cultural awareness. Sensitive since a young age, his interest in the paranormal was never stymied, in fact, it was subtly encouraged. Two of the earliest books he received from his grandparents were “The Return of the Greyman and Georgetown Ghosts” and “This Haunted Land: Where Ghosts Still Roam.” At the tender age of 7, he was introduced to the fascinating world of martial arts. It was at that point he was first trained in meditation and the concept of chi. He has tried to be diligent with the practices over the years. While he was growing up Robbie always wanted to live in a haunted house. He finally got his wish, tenfold. He also found out that there can be much more to hauntings; things that go bump in the night sometimes can hurt you. Experiences with very negative entities set Robbie on the shamanic path.

John Anthony West

John Anthony West

John Anthony West (born January 1, 1932 in New York) is an American author, lecturer, guide and a proponent of Sphinx water erosion hypothesis in geology. Influenced by R.A. Schwaller de Lubicz, in 1993 his work with Robert M. Schoch, a geologist and associate professor of natural science at the College of General Studies at Boston University was presented by Charlton Heston in a NBC special called "The Mystery of the Sphinx" that won West an News & Documentary Emmy Award for Best Research and a nomination for Best Documentary. The documentary contends that the main type of weathering evident on the  Great Sphinx and surrounding enclosure walls could only have been caused by prolonged and extensive rainfall during the time period from 10,000 to 5000 BCE and was carved out of limestone bedrock by an ancient advanced culture. This challenged the conventional dating of the carving of the statue circa 2500 BCE. West suggested that the Sphinx may be over twice as old as originally determined, whereas Schoch made a more conservative determination of between 5000 and 7000 BCE

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives we discuss the how Developers and Preservationists Find Historic Common Ground in Miami, New Bigfoot recordings from Washington, Chupacabra sightings from the early 19th century. After the break we talk with Christopher O'Brien about his new book "Stalking the Herd". Since 1992, Christopher O'Brien has investigated over one thousand paranormal events reported in the San Luis Valley--located in South-central Colorado/North Central New Mexico. Working with law enforcement officials, ex-military, ranchers and an extensive network of skywatchers, from 1992 to 2002 he documented one of the most intense waves of unexplained activity ever reported from a single geographic region of North America. His ten-year investigation resulted in the three books of his "mysterious valley" trilogy, The Mysterious Valley, Enter the Valley, and Secrets of the Mysterious Valley. His meticulous field investigation of UFO reports, unexplained livestock deaths, Native American legends, cryptozoology, secret military activity and the folklore, found in the world's largest alpine valley, has produced one of the largest databases of unusual occurrences gathered from a single geographic region. He is currently working with a team of specialists installing a high-tech video surveillance and hard-data monitoring system in and around the San Luis Valley. His latest book Stalking the Herd is what we are discussing on todays show.
